The SHE SANCTUARY: Your Home Away from Home at Cannes Film Festival

Writer: YES SHE CANNESYES SHE CANNES

A Relaxing, Supportive, and Empowering Space for Women in Film




The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most prestigious events in the industry—a place where careers are made, connections are formed, and creativity thrives. But amidst the glitz and glamour, Cannes can also feel overwhelming, especially for women navigating the festival alone.


That’s why Yes She Cannes is thrilled to introduce the new SHE SANCTUARY—a women’s-focused accommodation designed to provide a relaxing, empowering, and inspiring environment during the festival.


📍 Located just 15 minutes from the festival action, this exclusive retreat is more than just a place to stay—it’s a supportive community where women in film can connect, recharge, and thrive during Cannes in 2025.


Why Choose the SHE SANCTUARY?


🏡 A Home for Women in Film Finding accommodation at Cannes Film Festival can be a challenge—overcrowded apartments with premium rates, lack of structure, and messy shared spaces can make it overwhelming, especially when you're focused on making the most of your festival experience.

That’s where SHE SANCTUARY comes in. Designed as a welcoming, community-driven space, it offers a comfortable, well-organised, and supportive environment where you can relax, connect, and thrive. Whether it’s your first time at Cannes or you’re a returning festival veteran, the SHE SANCTUARY provides the perfect place to stay, network, and feel empowered throughout your time at the festival.

🥐 Daily Comforts for a Stress-Free Stay With a freshly cooked breakfast each morning, regular cleaning service, and a dedicated space to unwind, SHE SANCTUARY ensures that all the little details are taken care of—so you can focus on what truly matters: maximising your Cannes experience without the added stress.


🎬 Exclusive Preparation Workshop We know Cannes can be overwhelming, especially if you’re navigating the festival alone. That’s why we offer an exclusive pre-festival workshop for villa guests to help you prepare, set your goals and intentions and maximise your time at Cannes.

💬 A Supportive Community The SHE SANCTUARY is more than just accommodation—it’s a network of women in film supporting each other before, during, and after the festival. From welcome drinks to insider access and opportunities, this is your chance to be part of a thriving community.

🛍️ A Little Something Extra As a guest at SHE SANCTUARY, you’ll also receive a branded goody bag filled with festival essentials and exclusive treats—because who doesn’t love a little extra treat? ✨


What Our Guests Say About the SHE SANCTUARY


At the SHE SANCTUARY we strive to create more than just accommodation—we build a community where women in film can connect, support, and empower each other during the Cannes Film Festival. But don’t just take our word for it—here’s what some of our guests last year had to say about their experiences:

💬 "I'm back home now and just wanted to say a massive thank you for creating this wonderful space for us this year. It was a journey well worth undertaking! Can't wait to see what the year between now and next Cannes brings!"

💬 "It was so wonderful to stay with you all. It was such a welcoming and empowering environment!"


💬 "Thank you so much for being such kind hosts. I’m so happy to have had a safe space at Cannes and to be around so many brilliant women."


💬 "This has been a marathon of walking, parties, and intuitive meetings that could have been extremely stressful except for you putting us together, Faith! I’m amazed, beat, and hopeful. I’ll train for the next one so that I will be ready for the marathon!"


💬 " I wanted to say a huge thank you for everything you’ve done. I had an amazing time at my first Cannes, and Yes She Cannes was the main reason! Met so many lovely women, and it really helped me navigate the whole juggernaut that is the festival. Hopefully see you next year!"


💬 "I was really touched by the welcome gifts and the way you made it feel like a sleepover party with everything we needed, plus fantastic breakfasts. You also helped us professionally to get started at the festival and gave us skills we can take with us wherever we go."


💬 "You’ve managed to create the most meaningful & empowering event in Cannes. I cannot even begin to imagine all the struggles that were on your path, but from an attendee perspective, it was extremely well put together and just perfect in all senses."


💬 "Last year I came all by myself, and this year it was so great to know that I had an entire tribe right behind me. Thank you for creating such a strong and inspiring network!"


💬 "I just want to say how deeply, deeply grateful I am that you came through for me… for giving me a soft place to rest… for being so kind, so warm with me. It was my experiences with you that gave me the first semblance of safety and humanity. So from the bottom of my heart – Thank You!"


The SHE SANCTUARY isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience that empowers, uplifts, and connects women in a way that transforms their Cannes experience.
